Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Elche

Real Madrid will be looking to move six points clear at the top of the La Liga table when they make the trip to Elche on Wednesday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side recorded a 3-1 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico on Sunday afternoon, which saw them climb above their rivals to the top of the division.

Barcelona are not back in action until Thursday at home to Villarreal, so a victory for Real Madrid here would see them move six points ahead of Xavi's side at a vital stage of the season.
